This new, playful twist on a storm drain cover is a brilliant reintrepretation of the usually dull and disengaging storm drain cover. The unexpected pop of color in a biege oasis adds to the interest and draw exhibited by this object.
Abacus Bench
The Abacus bench is another piece that encourages interaction on the part of the user. By constantly needing to manipulate the object to accomodate size and comfort, an intimate relationship is formed between bench and user. A thought process is needed in this seemingly mundane movement of sliding the object, however the user is required to think about their size, seating position, and actions to take place while interacting with and enjoying this flexible object.
The abacus is a counting instrument that has been around for centuries. Often used by young children and displayed as artifacts by collectors, the instrument is an incredibly engaging object when compared to its simplistic design. Simple slides engage the user physically, mentally, and emotionally. With the introducation of color and texture, the piece can become a work of art encouraging the user to create patterns and images.
